The actor... the dramatist… the entertainer.

Peacocks are confident and friendly. In conflicts, they’re noisy and dramatic. This bird type is more bark than bite. Under stress, peacocks can become apologetic, friendly and even manipulative. “I was only joking” is a common statement.

However, peacocks love to solve problems, which is a positive character trait. Likely, the conversation will end in a peacock saying, “let’s forget it and all be friends.”

Ahh, we could all use with more of those types of relationships.
